Photos: Say Yes to the (Toilet Paper) Dress

Wedding dresses with elaborate designs made out of toilet paper were on display at the rooftop of the Sanctuary Hotel in Midtown Thursday, where they were judged in an annual competition sponsored by Charmin Toilet Paper.

The competition was dreamed up by the founders of money-saving website Cheap-Chic-Weddings.com. To celebrate the 10th year of the “Cheap Chic Weddings Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest,” 10 finalists were flown to New York City to showcase their designs.
